Tournament of Topics

Tournament of Topics is part game show, part improv, part stand up comedy, and all hilarious. Sixteen comedians compete two at a time, armed with their own unique comedic skills, and a random topic generated from a wheel spin; they each have 1 minute to make the crowd laugh. Will they crumble under the pressure or secure a golden moment of standup comedy? After each comedian has done an improvised minute on their topic, three esteemed comedic judges then each vote the winner to the next round in this single elimination thriller. The comedians battle round by round in this tournament bracket, until there is one left standing to claim the championship. There is a host to keep everything on track and make sure that the laughs are from bell to bell. With a typical runtime of les than two hours, you won’t believe how fast time travels when you are laughing! Tournament of Topics (ToT) was founded in Athens, Georgia, by Athens stand up comedian Levi Crumley.
